Re: A Town Called Clueless Discussion

[Zip]

Aha! There we go!

...Did my news stuff get do-No.

[Nayaby]

If you're going on a news show, it might be best to prepare O_o

Or is this a school project xD In which case, it's still a good idea to prepare, though not preparing wouldn't be quite as potentially embarrassing as the previous scenario.

[Areada]

When in doubt, fake it with confidence, bravado, and a charming smile. That's what I always do. Saved me from utter mortification when I choked on coffee in english class. Twice. In the same fifteen minutes. What did I fake? The sense of humor I had about the whole thing.

[Nayaby]

Coffee is brilliant! Choking on it is quite understandable, since it's so delicious and stimulating. Though, choking isn't exactly a desirable state to be in.

I'm reminded of the time my phone's voice calling feature was somehow activated in the middle of class.

Phone: Voice calling mode active.
Professor: If you're going to sit in the second row, you should make sure your phone is at least on vibrate, Nayab.
Me: Sorry, it was on mute. I don't know how that happened.
Phone: Now calling [Firstname Lastname].
Me: No! Stop stop stop! *fumbling with phone*

Ah well, there were only about 200 other people in the room. No biggie.

[Areada]

I'm obsessive about checking my phone to see if it's on silent during class. Obsessive. I'm determined to only have embarrassing things happen to me that I have no real control over. Like choking on hot liquids. Although I have a bit of fear of drinking coffee in class now. I prefer not to.
It was really my fault for drinking the coffee in the first place, I guess. Oh well. I couldn't have seen it coming.

[Nayaby]

I think I may have leaned on my phone somehow, and it pushed the button for five seconds, which activates voice calling mode regardless of whether it's on silent or not.

Hey! Don't ever berate yourself for drinking coffee. It is the greatest substance known to mankind!

[Zip]

Ahh, not exactly. An actual news show.

...That I have to do every two weeks or so. *cough*

....It's done, guys. Why are you looking at me like that?

[Areada]

That's so cool, though, Zip!

I like tea a bit better, though, Nayaby. I only drink coffee for the taste, really, because I'm really trying to avoid addiction. So I go with decaf. Sorry if it's blasphemous... But I do love both tea and coffee with a fiery burning passion.

[Zip]

I'm not a drinker of either, unfortunately. Never really tried the two before, believe it or not.

...OH MY VOT. I'M AT A HUNDRED POSTS!

WHOOOOOOOO!!!

[Areada]

The whole forum is at 1008 posts (with this post) HOORAH! HOORAH!

[Nayaby]

I've managed to avoid addiction, I believe. I only have coffee thrice or four times a week. Unless I'm doing a cram or an all-nighter essay of course xD

Though, I love coffee for a variety of reasons. It increases concentration, increases alertness, helps with memory, decreases fatigue. It's just brilliant!

Maybe I have a slight caffeine addiction, but when I travel I have no problem with the lack of coffee, so I'm not sure that I do.

I love tea too! Herbal teas are delicious! I'm a big tea drinker. Hot drinks are brilliant in so many ways.

AND YAY ZIP, YOU'RE FAMOUS!

Well, maybe not famous. But that's brilliant! What sort of role do you play on this news show?

We're over one thousand! Le gasp!

[Lycanthrope]

Sorry if my entrance is rather abrupt, but I wanted to sprinkle in some tension and drama, :3

You put a lot out there, Nayaby. This deserves a similarly long post of mine in the near future.

[Nayaby]

Aprils Fools!

[Areada]

I THOUGHT it was weird that you introduced Gwyneth...

I forgot April Fools Day existed, actually. It's Palm Sunday for me, and I'm very preoccupied with religion at the moment. And my research paper.

Nice job, though. That was highly amusing. xD

[Nayaby]

Oh yeah! It's Palm Sunday too! My ability to remember Christian holidays has diminished quite a bit since graduating high school. My high school was Anglican, so I was far more aware of these things when I went there.

[Zip]

Ahh...sort of faked an acceptance letter from this school my friend plans on going to that called him a "cotton headed ninny muggins."

...He was a bit miffed, but then he remembered what day it was.

[Zip]

Guys?
...I don't know what to write for Clueless. Like, nothing is coming to me. Any ideas?

[Areada]

It's okay. I ought to post, really. It's just been a big week, not stressful like last week (ahhhhh!) but just busy. I shall try to get something written tonight, if I have the time.
